🧵 I attended my first #RSE conference (#RSECon24) this past week! A few highlights:

1. Having the opportunity to present some of our team’s work on requirements capture (slides: https://www.gmschroeder.com/software/rsecon24-requirements/). (Shown here sneaking in one of my favourite data visualisations - one of cartographer Harold Fisk’s maps of the evolution of the Mississippi River - as an analogy for complex, evolving research projects).
